    News to me, sounds like rubbish. The Gunsmith Licence is just a Dealers Licence with no quantity restrictions.

    OK - 9.5x57 Mannlicher Schoenauer model 1910 take-down rifle, in a custom stock. (Known in the UK as the .375 Rimless Nitro Express.) Essentially this is an 8x57 case blown out to hold a .375...

    The one shot zero on my 257 (above) seemed to work ok under hunting conditions. 2 shots last evening. 2 deer. 271 and 160 yards. Longer shot was spot on - prone with bi pod. Closer a little high but...

    What is it you're looking for specifically ? Lightweight at the expense of efficiency and longevity or a balance of them all. I made some cans ages ago as part of a bet 150gm, Aluminium & carbon...

    nor-west liked post by Norway On thread : Shoot lightweight rifles
    This one should be relevant, how to get consistency with lightweight rifles. Who wants to lug around a heavy smokepole??? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MKCViW-lfus

    nor-west liked post by JohnDuxbury On thread : Sako 30-06. What's it worth?
    Way way too low. If you got that rifle for anything under two thousand you stole it, and the stutzen carry an additional premium. Put it this way, I could sell it for $2500 and not have too much...

    I’ve got a 270wsm cut to 18 inches so velocity wise it’s about the same as a 270win and have shot a fair few deer with it. Bullet weight doesn’t really matter, bullet construction does. So you want...
